 "Musk hopped on Trump's call with Google CEO Sundar Pichai after his election victory: Report")
Tesla CEO Elon Musk reportedly joined Donald Trump in his phone call with Google CEO Sundar Pichai when he called the President-elect to congratulate him on his victory in the US elections.
According to a report by The Information, Musk listened to the conversation between Trump and Pichai on November 5. It is, however, not known what was discussed in the phone call.
Musk has gained relevance in the world of politics ever since US President-elect Donald Trump elevated his position to his new Cabinet. Musk has been given the charge of Department of Government Efficiency or ‘DOGE’ as it’s popularly known.
Trump’s ’new star’, Musk, appears to be taking greater roles in the government. Since the November 5 elections, the Tesla CEO has actively engaged with foreign leaders directly which is a sign that he might be playing a role in shaping the Republican leader’s foreign policy.
It is not the first time the X owner has hopped on Trump's official calls. Musk jumped in a call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy when the latter dialled the president-elect after his landslide victory.
Meanwhile, Trump and Pichai have had conversations at least thrice since during and after the elections.
Last month, in an interview with Bloomberg, the Republican leader said that he had called Pichai to talk to him about the alleged biases in Google search and said that the search engine is only showing negative stories about him.
